Help: How to clean wooden blocks (mouse nest)?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

My MIL pulled out some homemade wooden blocks from her basement that were my husband's when he was little. They are really nice but we discovered a mouse nest in the bucket with them. I know that mice are pretty gross and can carry a lot of germs. I am a little nervous about cleaning since it is wood and not a hard surface, and because all LO wants to do is eat everything. Bleach seems dangerous for LO and I have never used it to clean any of her things before.

What should I do? Do I attempt to clean the blocks or just not use them? Thanks!

 

They aren't painted - just plain wood.

    are they painted?  If they are I would not use them.  Safety standards have changed a lot.

    But, if you really want to use them.........you can make a bleach water 10% solution and use it to dampen a cloth and wipe clean.  Put in the sun to dry.

    Bleach evaporates so a good rinse and dry like pp said should do the trick.

    I soaked mine in bleach and water to clean and put them outside to dry.
